The late South African rapper, Costa Titch’s family criticized the South African National Health Laboratory Services for withholding toxicology results that might have revealed what killed Titch.
Costa Titch, Constantinos Tsobanoglou, collapsed and died on March 12, 2023, while performing at a music event in Johannesburg.
Nearly three months after his death, his mother has accused those in charge of conducting the tests of delaying investigations into what killed her son.
The bereaved mother stated on Instagram that investigators cannot proceed without toxicology results.
“It can take months or even years for the National Health Laboratory Services to finalize toxicology results.” This means I am not the only mother in South Africa awaiting answers. It also means that whoever poisoned my son may get away with murder. “I’m pleading for assistance to get answers because even the police can’t do anything without these medical results,” she explained.
Titch fainted on stage while playing at Ultra South Africa. Someone beside him was seen in a video pulling him up, but the rapper collapsed shortly afterwards and was confirmed dead at the hospital.
As detectives swung into action, the cause of his death was not revealed.
With his popular song Big Flexa, Costa Titch had become an African sensation. He was also an excellent dancer.
